You may not have heard much about this, but apparently there's another MLB team in New York (besides the Mets). And this lesser-known, fledgling squad is coming by our stadium for a visit this weekend, a fact that the Dodgers marketing team has kept under the radar. But since they don't come out to Dodger Stadium often, they must not be anyone of note, right? Otherwise we might have heard about this somewhere? Maybe?

So game 1 against this club is tonight, and there may be a couple of extra people interested in seeing this other team (they're starting a pitcher named Carsten! How cute!), but frankly I'm finding out about this contest so late that I don't know what to expect. Hopefully this visiting squad at least knows the rules of baseball.

I thought today was an off-day, so I went to Mr. C's site for the puzzle (at least I can solve his).When did we add the Yankees to the schedule? They're pretty popular with all the displaced Yorkies, so I figured the Dodgers would have publicized this.

In order to represent Paul or other "pipe boys," I must disclaim any violence that may or may not occur before, during, or after the game; either on or off the field, or parking lot, or sports bars that may be in the vicinity. Further, any alleged violence, or acts attempting violence that may or may not have been fueled my alcohol will likely be explained by lack of mental capacity or good judgment for buying a $12 beer at the stadium. It should also be noted that Paul is believed to be an attorney himself and is hereby advised not to represent himself.

Nothing in the above paragraph should be construed as legal advice, but used by the reader for sheer entertainment value only. Satire, sarcasm, and general "snarkiness" is assumed by the reader.

Since the beginning of the season, before the game they have played this amazing video at the stadium to the tune of I Love LA. It's a great video and as Nic just said, of course it gets our LA blood pumping...but playing it BEFORE the game is in fact weird. Jury's still out...

You and your father are welcome at my pad any time, Karina. Pasadena, CA only a few minutes from Chavez Ravine. And we have plenty of BBQ/grill space. I'll bet your dad has some great dead cow and pig stylings!

So I hear Edwin Jackson threw a no-hitter. That's great. I still love that guy. He deserves that, for all the shit he went through here in LA and in Tampa Bay, and to throw it against the Rays no less.
